Boards & tasks
Filter, sort, and find tasks
Updated June 9, 2026
As a board grows, search, filters, and sorting help you focus on the work that matters right now. These controls live in the board toolbar and work across views.
Search
Type in the toolbar's Search tasks… box to filter the board to matching task titles in real time. Use Clear search (or the ×) to reset.
Filter
Open filters
Click Filter in the toolbar.
Choose criteria
Filter by any combination of Priority, Assignee, Reporter, Status, Labels, Due Date, Type, and — when enabled — Milestone and Cycle.
Apply
Click Apply. Use Clear to reset a single filter or Clear all to remove them.
Quickly hide unassigned work
The toolbar's user filter has a Filter unassigned tasks toggle — handy for focusing on work that already has an owner.
Sort
Click Sort in the toolbar and choose an order: Newest First, Oldest First, Priority: High to Low (or Low to High), Title A–Z / Z–A, or Due Date newest/oldest. Choose Reset to return to the default order.
